Fig. 2.

Typical examples of ¹²³I–oxLDL autoradiogram and DiI-oxLDL fluorescence images of the liver (Fig. 2a) and spleen (Fig. 2b). Bright field (1), DiI fluorescence (2), and ARG (3) images are shown. Enlarged fluorescence images merged with nuclei image of hepatic lobule and spleen slices are also shown (4). In the liver slice, a star represents the central vein, and triangles the interlobular area, including the interlobular artery and vein of the hepatic lobule. In the spleen slice, circles represent red pulp, rectangles the white pulp, and diamonds the marginal zone. Circular regions of interest (ROIs) of 125 μm diameter were placed on each of those regions
